Habitat use and social organization shape gut microbiome in wild marine fish
By
Aina Pons
Summary
This study investigates how social organization and habitat use influence the gut microbiome composition of a wild marine fish. It provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The research highlights the role of environmental and social factors in shaping the microbial communities within fish intestines, with implications for understanding host-microbe interactions in natural settings.

The term gut microbiome refers to the collection of bacteria and their genes that are present in the intestinal tract.
This intricate community has attracted significant attention in recent decades in human clinical research as it plays a crucial role in many physiological and pathological processes such as digestion, metabolism, pathogen defence, and host immunity.
